At The Biltmore

Proudly Presents a Production by
Ground Up & Rising

JAILS, HOSPITALS AND HIP-HOP
by Danny Hoch

with Curtis Belz

Directed by Arturo Fernandez 

In this examination of marginalized people battling to have their voices heard:
a white teenager dreams of being a black gangsta rapper;
a wheelchair-bound kid explains how his mother smoked crack during pregnancy;
a pale-skinned Bronx street vendor enrages a policeman who can't figure out what race he is;
and a young Puerto Rican man on crutches rhapsodizes about his dancing talent. 

"Asks shrewd questions about the mutating nature of racial identities, the ways rap and
hip-hop shape social fantasies and the frustrations of being trapped in a single
skin and the very fallible instrument known as the human body!"

- Ben Brantley, New York Times 

"Hoch has refined his art and crafted an evening almost devoid of predictability!"

- Variety
